The Heroes Behind the Initiative

Linus torvalds ... as u all might know ... he is the one who wrote the kernel for Linux from Minix ... he did it as a hobby ... and now , he is the inspiration for a billion !! he is a strong supporter of open source and released the license or Linux under GPL (GNU Public License) .
Richard M Stallman , the man behind the Free Software Foundation, FSF and the mastermind behind the GNU project !!! ... he had the saying 'Free as in Freedom and not in Free Beer' . he wanted to create choice for mankind (here its computer profeciency society) !! .
Eric S Raymond authour of 'The Cathedral and the Bazzar' (CatB) and the founder of Open Source Initiative also called as OSI. His book was a revolution and His thought transformed us .

Lets say 'Three Cheers' for the heroes who made it possible for the open source development , if not would have been a bitter place.
